This microcredential represents a teacher’s ability to understand and respond to progressions related to addition and subtraction with rational numbers, including conceptualizations, properties, strategies, and representations, by planning and implementing instruction based on the Standards for Mathematical Practice and Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices. It includes selecting, using, and adapting mathematics curricula and teaching materials, including the integration of mathematical tools and technology, as well as using and analyzing formative and summative assessments to determine where students are in learning addition and subtraction with rational numbers. This is the fifth of seven microcredentials in the Elementary Mathematics Endorsement: Rational Numbers and Proportional Reasoning. These microcredentials can be earned in any order.

This microcredential represents educators' administration and use of the norm referenced FitnessGram assessments. They will also personally complete some of the FitnessGram assessments.

This PDF houses different supplemental programs and interventions for use with adolescent students. It was authored by Cynthia Shanahan and Learning Point Associates and is available on the WWC website.

This microcredential stack allows a path for those seeking to obtain the instructional coaching endorsement to certify competency for Area 2 - Adult Learning Theory. To be eligible for this path, you must have had the position of instructional coach for at least three years.

This Goshute alphabet (ABC) coloring book is a part of the Native American Indian Literacy Project storybook series for the six main Utah Tribal Nations. There are five stories per Tribe, with a total of 30 booklets, plus an ABC book. The set of Indian Tribal stories may be utilized by elementary classroom teachers to (1) develop an understanding and appreciation of Native American culture and societal contributions (2) provide a genre of text for the application of reading strategies, and (3) facilitate the mastery of various Utah Core Content Curriculum objectives. The Native American Indian Literacy Project was made possible by funds from the Utah State Office of Education (USOE). It is a joint effort of the USOE and San Juan School District Media Center.

Appropriately Challenging Goals are a foundational precondition for meaningful learning that occurs through cultivating student engagement and the development of intrinsic motivation. Students thrive most when teachers clearly describe the ultimate goals of instruction and when the goals are achievable, yet challenging.

Arcade Games: Standard 8.EE.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations. Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables graphically, approximating when solutions are not integers and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables graphically. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).
